The Mathnasium Method™

“Children don’t hate math. They do hate being confused and intimidated by math. With understanding comes passion, and with passion comes growth – a treasure is unlocked.” -- Larry Martinek

For more than a decade, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids understand and appreciate math. Larry Martinek, creator of the Mathnasium Method, has spent 40+ years designing, developing, and refining this approach based on his extensive experience teaching math to kids. We build math knowledge upon what they already know - this helps kids learn quickly and boosts their confidence right away.

How It Works

Our proprietary method consists of three key components which are closely monitored and adjusted to address each child’s learning goals:

Assessments: Students start by taking a customized assessment which pinpoints their needs, allowing us to meet them where they are and take them where they need to go. These assessments continue throughout their Mathnasium instruction to ensure progress and skill retention.

Customized Learning Plans: We then design a customized learning plan for teaching the concepts the student needs to master, and use a combination of proprietary materials and instruction techniques to ensure your child masters these concepts.

Specially Trained, Caring Instructors Who Teach: Mathnasium’s specially trained instructors implement the learning plan and work with each student to ensure they master the material. All teaching takes place during the Mathnasium session, and we don’t assign homework.

The Mathnasium program provides the foundation and support to succeed at each stage:

Elementary School: Building math foundation, mastering computation and problem solving with whole and rational numbers, and understanding number sense

The tutors are friendly, very knowledgeable and confident. They are also patient with each student. Their process of explaining the math to my children is fun and simple. My kids enjoy going to mathnasium!

My son has really learned a lot from this wonderful group of people. They are really encouraging and explain in a way my son understands. And their schedule works with our schedule...when were ready, they're ready.

Wish we had known about this place a lot sooner! Nevertheless, all tutors were patient and great with the students. For parents who have kids who need help or need more challenges is Math, this is the place to be. Their program will work for any student as they reassess each one and develop their plan according to their needs. Thank you Mathnasium!

My son is in a highly accelerated 6th grade math program. He had a D at the midway point of the fall semester and was in danger of being dropped. After only three weeks at Mathnasium, he is earning a B. He says all the tutors are cool, he looks forward to his tutoring sessions and math is fun for him again. Many thanks to Mathnasium for their support.

This Mathnasium has the brightest instructors! They are all great and in just a short amount of time, have made a significant impact on my child's confidence and math skills! Thank you Mathnasium of Granada Hills!!

In just one months time, I have seen my son's love for math and confidence improve. He loves going and the reward system is great. Wonderful, nice, knowledgeable staff! Thank you Mathnasium of Granada His!

Mathnasium of Granada Hills has been a great experience! My daughter has shown tremendous improvements. Also, the staff is very friendly and well knowledged. I gave them a 9 out of 10. I would've given them a 10, but their summer hours didn't fit with our schedule. Overall, this place has helped out us out alot and now my wife and I are confident that our daughter will be well prepared for 2nd Grade Math for this coming schoolyear..

We are very pleased with the progress we have made with Mathnasium. I have two children that have struggled with math in school. After trying other tutoring centers, and various private tutors we were not achieveing any success. We would get help that allowed us to "get through tonight's homework" but nothing long term. We started Mathnasium at the end of October & by January both my kids grades had improved one letter grade. It has not only improved their grades, but also their self esteem in class. At first they were hesitant to attend, but once they realized the instructors not only were their to help them, but they did so without any judgement and in a kid-friendly way. The instructors have made a genuine effort to engage with my kids on a personal level allowing them to feel comfortable asking questions that they would not otherwise have asked in a regular class setting. Math was the source of great frustration before Mathnasium's help, now my kids know if they don't quite get it in school.....they can find out when we "get to tutoring".
It has greatly helped us and I recommend Amirah and her staff !!
Thanks!!

My 3rd grader loves going to Mathnasium of Granada Hills. I believe it has helped him to boost his confidence not only in math - but in all areas overall. I will definitely recommend Mathnasium of Granada Hills to my friends and family.

My daughter just started and she was apprehensive going thinking that going to Mathnasium means she is not good enough. I assured her that going means she will mastering math concepts that will help her with whatever math level she is in. Mathnasium so far has not disappoint, but my daughter is still far from the knowledge and confidence level I think she should be, so we'll see. I have yet to see a progress report.
A couple of suggestion, can you please consider opening on Friday, even if it's only until 4 pm? Also, consider sending an email to remind parents that you will be close a certain day aside from the usual days. E.g. Closing on Halloween, would've been nice to know you were closed.

All the staff there have been amazing!!! My daughter has a huge fear of math and you guys have made her feel more comfortable. She gets excited to go and is bummed when it's not her day to be there :) We are always there when Rico is there and he goes over and beyond to make sure my daughter is where she should be and to make sure she understands what she is learning.

My daughter needed a little help in math so we looked into Mathnasium in Granada Hills. With some time, they were able to help her greatly - not only with her grades, but with her confidence in math and her study habits in general! The staff here is very professional and knowledgeable and they are great at making the kids feel at ease. Before coming here, we tried a few other tutoring places but we were so lucky to have found Mathnasium!

I really like the concept, curriculum, and environment.
I would have liked to have gotten more sessions for the fees that were paid.
My sons really felt the sessions were super productive.
Rico is the man!

My son's teacher noticed great improvements not only in Math also his attitude. He was chosen Student of Month in 5th grade, first time since he started Kindergarten. The teacher stated the tutor program helped a great deal. I really hope Mathnasium had other tutoring services besides Math.
